Lovely impact on the eye. Also like the black and white composition. So sharp.

Such a beautiful composition Jessica, ist sharp, good light in the eyes, perfectly expose. For a better balance in the frame, I would crop a little at the top for the subject to pop. Well done!

Beautiful shot Bruno.Your image is sharp and well exposed and ample detail in the feathers. When the background is busy, rather oppt for a f/5.6 or f/6 with a lens at that range. It will allow for the subject to pop away from the background for more imapact.

I just love this shot. WINING SHOT, But I see what you meant with the previous crop John. Well done.

Lovely image Bruno.
Hippo jaws are specially adapted to open their mouths extremely wide without tearing the skin or ligaments. This behavior is mostly used for hippos to display their teeth and jaws, which is a sign of aggression that is meant to scare off predators or other hippos competing for their territory.

Beautiful image and well captured

Beautiful animal portrait John! I love the way the Kudu blends in with the background. Your image is sharp and you’ve handled the exposure well. Thank you for sharing.

Hi John, this is a beautiful capture of the kudu, but I don’t think the picture needs all the Photoshop effects. It feels too digital and not refined. I believe your subject deserves better—just my honest opinion, and I hope you take it in good spirit.
